Will this be the case for the PA's?
I'm just trying to plan how I will need to load my PA.
Thanks, Scott

The PAs usually sit flat on the bottom. But do the crew a favor and don't load anything on it for the trip over and back. They will give you time to outfit it on deck or in the side racks before launching. Even then consider what you can have handed to you when you are in your yak. Then put that stuff away while your bait tank fills up away from the boat.

Thank you Greg
It's a lot lighter if I keep the pedals and batteries out of it so I'll store those in a separate crate

We unfortunately have to let everyone know that we just got a call from John the owner of the islander and this weekend’s trip is off due to lack of sign ups. If you were on this weekend’s Islander trip that was going to run the 27-29th of May, you will have the option of receiving a full refund or $50 credit towards the trip that we will hopefully run June 13-15. Please call the shop at 619-866-6129 if you have any questions. We are calling everyone who was on the trip individually right now.

Damn, that sucks.

Sorry, fellas.

As of now the trip that was offered for June 13-15 has about 5 anglers. We are opening this trip up to the public to try and fill the spots needed to run the trip. If interested please call the shop and we will take your information. We will need about 10 more people to make the trip run. Sorry for what has taken place with these trips. We hope to run this one so give us a call.

Thank you

Hey everyone! We wanted to let you guys know that we are about to begin charging the remaining balances for the 2.5 day trip. Also there are 2 spots open!

Today I went, tested several kayaks and pick out a new one for the stable. Also signed up for one of the last spots on the 2.5 day trip. Got to finish rigging it tomorrow and then test it out at LJ on Monday and then I'll be all set for the Islander trip. This will be my first Islander trip and I can't wait.

Our 3.5 day NCKA trip that just got back landed over 90 YT. If you're thinking about signing up for one of OEX's trips NOW is the time to get out there.

OK- this weekend is looking to be a great trip

Be down at Fishermans Landing around 5-6pm to unload-and get situated.

Plenty of places to grab a beer and eats- Crew will get the boat organized and departure will be determined when all buttoned down.

There is parking in the lot, but is paid parking. They give you 1/2 or so for free to unload if you would like to look for street parking for free.

Meals, drinks (non alcoholic) snacks included.

We still have 2 spots available-

Go get em-
